I've always thought bipolar depression was the same as regular depression, but then again, what do I know... I've only ever experienced bipolar depression.
Bipolar disorder is different than regular depression (e.g. mixed episodes). Which was probably why I was acting the way I was. Plus after I gave her my past history and my behavior when I would visit her would confirm it.
